Introduction
Although based on the campaign of 1813, this campaign does not attempt to copy that campaign in any way. The armies involved do not fight over the same area. The armies are not composed of the same orders of battle.
The aim of this campaign is to produce enjoyable wargames within the frame work of a campaign, so that something has happened before the wargame, and there will be consequences afterwards.
The armies are formed to make full use of the model soldiers within my collection.,
The battlefields are designed to make use of the scenery within my collection
Each battlefield is designed to fit on my 6x6 foot wargames table.

Campaign Maps
This is an index of the maps available for the campaign. They cover the whole of Europe from Hamburg in the north to Malaga in the south, and from Paris in the west to Austria in the east.
All of the maps have been adapted from the AA Road Map of Europe book. Each page has been copied to make simplified Campaign Strategic Maps. There are two maps because it would take too much room to show Spain and Portugal below the rest of Europe.
The reference numbers at the top and left hand side refer to the location of each square in both the AA Road Map and the Campaign Strategic Map.
